Rauberghytta in winter
Last week Peter wrote: ”Why go to the end of the universe, when you have a pearl in your backyard?” I really agree with you Peter!
Only 3 hours driving from my home I find my favourite hut to hut hiking area.
Trekking maps: Snøhetta 1: 100 000 Dovrefjell 1: 100 00
Tourist map: Sunndal 1: 80 000
This area is also a perfect place for cross-country skiing in winter,- if you only have the patience to wait for forecasts of good weather. When my friends and I are planning a new adventure in the mountains we always trust a forecast of bad weather and we do not rely completely on forecasts of good weather. I think this is the most important of The Norwegian Mountain Code “Fjellvettreglene” You can read them all here.
KNT owns 26 smaller and bigger cabins in my local area. 8 of them you find in the Sunndal/Dovrefjell area. Rauberghytta, 1317 AMSL, is the highest located one. It is a pearl of an open self-service cabin!
The winter route Hafsåsen – Rauberghytta takes about 5 hours. Maps: 1420 II, 1419 I, 1420 III

Hi Sherpa! More winter pictures will come:-) But first I have some summer trips to write about. I have just visited Rauberghytta and the surrounding mountains again, and a lot of photos are waiting in my PC.
